The death of an uncle due to heat stroke inspired a budding student entrepreneur to invent a sustainable air-cooling equipment which paved the way for her to represent the Philippines in the global arena with her invention next year.

Seeing the product’s potential to revolutionize the air-cooling industry, she pursued the development of “AirDisc.”“The Philippines is a country where a temperature of more than 30 degree Celsius is a normal occurrence,” she said. “The heat claimed my uncle’s life, and it can claim thousands more. If we have access to air-cooling equipment, we could have prevented the deaths caused by heat,” she added.

In the GSEA Global Finals, Palma will be facing more than 50 student-entrepreneurs from around the world and will be receiving intensive mentorship from EO Philippines’ member entrepreneurs.
